Status Updates From Le Cronache di Magnus Bane ...

I can’t be stopped 👀

What To Buy The Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You're Not Officially Dating Anyway): This was so pointless. Cute if you want Malec stuff but even then, Alec barely matters to this story. It's so stupid. 1/5.

The Fall of the Hotel Dumort: Buddy. What the fuck was the point of this one? More Camille shit that I do not care for because fuck her, a plotline that is so fucking serious but doesn't ever feel that way, and a resolution that honestly made me want to claw my own eyes out. It's... no? 1/5

Saving Raphael Santiago: This was the best story so far. I love Raphael and so learning a bit more about him and his origins as a vampire was definitely fun, but I can't say I enjoy his relationship with Magnus all that much. Controversial, maybe, but I like Raphael and Magnus separate, not even as friends. I guess maybe I'm just getting tired of Magnus, to be honest. 3/5.

The Rise of the Hotel Dumort: Um.. what did I just read? This short contributed nothing? I was expecting more vampires in this one considering what we know of the Hotel Dumort, and instead I got a bunch of boring warlocks and a dumbass speakeasy sideplot. Not a good time at all. 1/5.

The Midnight Heir: This is quite a hard story to rate because it wasn't offensive or annoying, and I absolutely adored the moments with Will, Jem & Tessa, But also like.. I didn't care for the stuff with James, Grace & Tatiana. I'm sure it'll be relevant to The Last Hours but I'm not there yet so 🤷 uh 3/5, I guess?

Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale: I hate, hate, hate when everything and everyone are connected in books via long, looping scenes of stupidity and overgrown, overlarge, terribly, annoyingly convoluted family trees. Boo >:( 1/5 stars.

The Runaway Queen: What the actual flipflop did I just read..? This was a totally boring main dish, with a side serving of implied incest salad. Yum..? 1/5.
